Chris & Nancy: The True Story of the Benoit Murder-Suicide and Pro Wrestling's Cocktail of Death, the Ultimate Historical Edition

Irvin Muchnick, author of Wrestling Babylon, has written for Sports Illustrated, People, The Washington Monthly, and the Sunday magazines of the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, among many other major publications. He has appeared on media forums as diverse as National Public Radio's Fresh Air with Terry Gross and the former Fox News program The O'Reilly Factor. Irv's reporting on the death of WWE legend Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka's girlfriend Nancy Argentino drove the prosecution of Snuka more than 30 years later in what observers said was the longest-running homicide cold case in the history of Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. A former National Writers Union official, Irv launched a landmark freelance writers' rights case that became the U.S. Supreme Court decision Reed Elsevier v. Muchnick. Chris & Nancy, first published in 2009, became key opposition research sinking the U.S. Senate candidacies of Linda McMahon (wife of Vince McMahon, former CEO of WWE, and later the head of the Small Business Administration in President Trump's cabinet).
